Influencers and Reviewers

Gay Romance Reviews wouldn’t be successful without the enthusiasm and dedication of our influencer and review teams! Read on to learn more about our teams and how to join.

Review Team

Our Review Teams have the highest follow-through rating anywhere, and that’s achieved through a combination of having the best reviewers and the best behind-the-scenes support.

We want you on our team if you:

  • love reading and/or listening to gay romance
  • want to support your favourite authors and discover new ones
  • love free books
  • can commit to providing reviews for the books you read

 

What You Need to Know Before You Join

There’s no compensation for being a GRR reviewer—payment is against Amazon’s Terms of Service. But you’ll get early opportunities to read new books!

You can sign up only for books you’re interested in; no need to review a genre or trope that doesn’t work for you.

If a book doesn’t hit the spot with you, you can choose to opt out of reviewing, or post an honest but tactful review.

You don’t have to review a minimum number of titles to stay on the team, but we ask that you do review the titles you request. We track who is and who isn’t reviewing, and if reviewers consistently miss reviews, it could result in removal from the team. 

Ideally, you should post your reviews on Amazon, but we ask that you post your reviews wherever you’re able to (Goodreads, Bookbub, etc.).

Influencer Team

Our Influencer Team (bloggers and Instagrammers) enjoy the opportunity to read, review, and support some of the latest and greatest in gay romance releases across multiple platforms.

We want you on our team if you:

  • love supporting authors of gay romance
  • have an active book blog, Instagram or feature Facebook page 
  • love free books
  • can commit to posting about the books you read

 

What You Need to Know Before You Join

There’s no compensation for being a part of the GRR Influencer Team—payment is against Amazon’s Terms of Service. But you’ll get early opportunities to read new books and content for your sites!

Like with our reviewers, you can sign up only for books you’re interested in; no need to pick a genre or trope that doesn’t work for you. Although we’d love it if you can post to Amazon, posting on your blog or other sites is perfectly fine.

If a book doesn’t hit the spot with you, you can choose to opt out of posting, or post an honest but tactful review. If you choose not to post, please let us know so we don’t think you’ve ghosted us.

Typically, we try to give a month’s notice about a tour, but sometimes it can be as short as a week. What you participate in is totally up to you!

GRR offers a great variety of books, and the reviewing process is easy, flexible, and fun. I’ve discovered plenty of authors and books I probably wouldn’t have found on my own.
